After Sons of Anarchy was overlooked in the major categories by the Television Academy today, the show’s always opinionated showrunner Kurt Sutter — who is married to sons of anarchy season 3 dvd
release star Katey Sagal, frequently mentioned as a strong possible nominee – took to Twitter to fire back.
In a series of profane Tweets, Sutter mocked Emmy voters as out of touch:
“Best part of not getting an emmy nod. now i don’t have to pretend i give a s— about the profiteering d-bag academy. … because you know if we were nominated i’d be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a d—.”

And: “If my mom and dad were alive this emmy snub would kill them. that’s not true, they were too old to understand my show. just like the academy.”
And whoa: “Broke into an academy member’s porn locker. found sticky fully-clothed photos of mariska hargitay, kathy bates…and matt weiner. very odd.”
Sutter also bashed Glee: “F— glee. hate those annoying, ‘please accept me for who i am’, singing brats. there, i said it. are you happy?”
Then Sutter backtracked a little: “I love [Glee creator] ryan murphy. he’s always very cool with me. love glee too. just tired of all the [acclaim] piling up at its feet.”
And finally (for now): “you do know that i’m really okay with no noms right? if i was really upset, i wouldn’t be ranting. i’d be plotting. i’m all about the love.”
